Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can

I wanted to find out how much of Amazon can be stripped out from the Fire 7 without having root access. Bearing in mind that my Fire 7 is currently connected via OTG Ethernet and I have not joined Amazon and associated my device. Basically a standalone device only with OTA Update disabled via ADB Shell. Considering we do not have root yet available we are limited in options and please bear in mind that this example is for my own personal preference.
PLEASE remember that my Fire 7 is a standalone device and has NOT been registered with Amazon. Changing these settings may have an effect with regards to this. Please proceed at your own risk.
I now have a Fire 7 with the Amazon footprint removed as much as possible with the exception of services that cannot safely be hidden and the dreaded Fire Launcher. Everything else I have hidden via ADB Shell. Please see first screenshot of my stripped down Fire 7. Key essential services/programs for me such as Google Play, Google Calendar, Fire 7 Settings all work smoothly after I removed the others.
I do not need the following on the Fire 7 as I will either install my own program from Google Play or remove the service completely. The following have been hidden [Amazon Email client, Calender, Camera, Help Files, Silk Browser, Amazon Video, Amazon Music, Amazon WEather etc]
For ADB Shell commands
https://developer.android.com/tools/help/shell.html
I used the following command for this task to hide adb shell pm hide [process name]
and to unhide adb shell pm unhide [process name]
if it hides you will get an acknowledgement as TRUE and obviously FALSE if you unhide the process
In the XDA Develpers Fire HD 6 & & Forum I came across a list of safe com.amazon processes that can be stopped on the Fire HD6 & 7 tablet. So I thought I would give them a go plus a few of my own attempts as well.

I then proceeded to highlight specific services such as the Calendar, Email Client and other associated Amazon services that I do not require. I used XDA Developers and Google as a reference as to what is actually safe to hide, made a note of the actual system process name and then hid them via ADB Shell and went from there.
UPDATE 1: After removing all the services if I go to: [Settings-Apps&Games-Amazon Application Settings] there are now only two options left. [Home Screen Settings] & [Special Offers]. All Amazon related settings & options have been removed
UPDATE 2: Please look at 3rd attached image. The Fire 7 definitely has some form of error checking / recovery process going on as, 3 new items have appeared. Downloads & Music as default Android app and not Amazon's. The 3rd one is Kindle CDA Diagnostics and it is flapping over all the services I have hidden. Just to confirm everything is working the way it should on the device - but the CDA tool has obviously appeared due to my tinkering.
UPDATE 3: I would like to be able to have the Kindle App working via Play and not Amazon. Even though I had stopped the Kindle app via Adb, I tried a sideload the latest Kindle apk. It has not only broken my play store but also I am getting lots of errors trying to download apps from the play store. I have reinstalled Google APKs etc and no joy. Might have to reset at this rate. All other apps on my device working A+
Got it working again - date & time stamp was causing the RFC error on Google Play. Re-enabled network time protocol. Gave it a while and Google play working A+ again

What's the ADB command to hide all the services you have listed?

Apologies I have edited the post with the correct commands.
I used the following command for this task to hide adb shell pm hide [process name]
and to unhide adb shell pm unhide [process name]
if it hides you will get an acknowledgement as TRUE and obviously FALSE if you unhide the process

The contacts app is com.andoid.contacts not com.amazon.contacts.

Thank you for correcting my typo

I can hide everything but the music app...is there a missing command?

Do a pm list packages and then search and guess for the app to hide.

Have you noticed any performance boost or batter battery life after disabling all those amazon processes?
Or does this just hides the apps from the app drawer?

Now, trying to hide anything that isn't necessary for my usage (this tablet is for my son, to play some games or educative apps (maybe watching animes and listening music). I'll edit this post when done.
EDIT1 : the command for hiding Music app is : adb shell pm hide com.amazon.mp3
EDIT2 : Finally, this is what i've done. Now closed to what i want, just needs to hide the Play Store now but it's already disabled (but showed on Fire Launcher) if you hide Google settings panel.

EDIT3 : Now i've done all i want but i still have Books and Recent tabs on Fire Launcher that i don't want... Still searching a way to disable it.

EDIT: so I got this for my grandma blocked some apps but don't know what are app names for newstand and how do you guys get rid of when you scroll on launcher books section audiobooks etc..? it looks like I will have to teach her how to browse using docs app to read books or simply send via email method.

You can simply avoid some apps i have listed and then simply install Kindle app separately. You'll see an icon for Kindle app and then can launch your books from there.
But, i currently don't know how to remove the "Books" tab from the launcher...

I found a solution because the books app wouldn't display books I read you have to convert them in calibre and then they will show up in there much better solution.

OK, nice. Your problem is gone, but not mine

I'll ask again, will doing this improve performance and battery life at all?

It does. At least, I disabled the Amazon app store, all the media apps by them and some other services and the scrolling lag I experienced has gone away. Battery life is more or less the same.

Yes, i have 5.0.1 and Play Store works.

Has anyone tried this with a registered fire 7? I'm reluctant to try it out w/out knowing if it's possible...

Yes, i have an amazon on it and all is fine.

Problem with Launcher Hijaker on FireHD10 2017 5.3.7.0

Hi,
I am having a "small problem" after the latest Update to 5.3.7.0
Since that update, when you press home, the Amazon Launcher appears (either for a few seconds, or once you click something) and then goes to the Nova Launcher.
I am not sure what my latest version of the launcher hijack is, it doesn't show a version info anywhere. I remember update it when Amazon broke it the last time by deleting the app.
Any ideas? I haven't found any other threads about this.
Thank you

No need to start a separate thread. There is plenty of discussion around this behavior in the original Launcher Hijack thread. No real solutions other than tapping an application icon during the delay which reverts to Nova Launcher.

I have suspect this app to block LauncherHijack is Arcus Android Client and package name is com.amazon.nimh
Can you uninstall it from updates using Total Commander app or disable it via ADB:
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.nimh
or, you hate this OTA and Amazon Launcher without LauncherHijack (You have an another launcher installed):
Code:
//OTA apps
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.settings.systemupdates

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher
//Others
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.dcp.contracts.library

Rooted Fire HD 10 (7th gen) with 5.3.7.0, custom rom/launcher possible?

Really, I'm just trying to get my Fire 10 to be more like stock android. I was able to root it using Kingoroot but I'm unsure where to go from here as far as installing a custom rom like LineageOS, or if that's not possible, disabling as much of the Fire-related stuff and running a custom launcher. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

After installation of Lineage OS, is it still necessary to go through the disable OTA steps (or would all the amazon OTA stuff have been overwritten)?

Is it actually still possible to follow that procedure for installing a custom rom through TWRP since I am on the latest FW OTA update (5.3.7.0)? Is it still possible to do the downgrade step?

I have not tried it, but it is available in the playstore to install as a stand alone app. I dont see any reason why it wouldn't work.

I don't think this works with 5.3.7? Or I'm missing something? It fails on the step-1.sh script due to incompatibility with the mtk-su script? Is there a work-around?

Oh, wow, thanks. How did this not come up in searching? I think I'm rooted now. Thanks again.

How do I change the launcher on HD Fire 10 (2019) (+ a few other questions)?

I've had a Fire HD 10 (2019) knocking around since black Friday, and I've finally got around to looking at it...
I realise that it's not fully rooted, but does has some sort of temporary root... (from this thread)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/fire-hd10-2019-t3979343
The thread mentions 2 ways of gaining root. The initial temporary one and a partial " bootless root for a more permanent root solution".
I don't really need root for this tablet except to be able to mod it to run a different launcher and debloat it. I don't intend to install any Magisk modules.
So should I just use the toolkit to gain temp root, install google play stuff, disable OTA's and then install a new launcher...
or should I setup the bootless root and then do the other stuff (with or without the toolkit)?
Is the bootless root permanent (i.e it persists after a reboot), in which case I could use something like Icebox to freeze the main launcher and other apps?
Can I delete the the main launcher and then install Nova launcher and rename it to that of the original launcher?
Finally what's the best way to ensure I don't accidentally update the tablet whilst setting it up?
It's already asking to connect to wifi during setup (It so far has never been online or even setup)....
Thanks

To replacing Amazon Launcher to Nova Launcher using:
Fire toolbox: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/official-amazon-fire-toolbox-v1-0-t3889604
or, do a manually over ADB:
Code:
//Enter ADB shell
adb shell
//Amazon Launcher
pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher
//OTA apps
pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override

pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
//Part of Amazon services
pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.dcp.contracts.library

If using adb, make sure you have a launcher installed before your disable stock "firelauncher"

Hey just wanted to give you a big thanks!, Just picked up a new HD 10 for an elderly relative that found the amazon launcher just way too much. and confusing.
hijacker kept kicking back into the amazon launcher if they accidentally hit the wrong keys, etc.
I was able to setup a very nice simple nova launcher setup and the user is extremely pleased with the easier than ipad simplicity and no way to screw anything up.
Thanks again and Cheers!

No-Root : How to deboat using adb or other tools?

I need to remove some uninstallable apps like YouTube, MI Music, MI Share, MI Pay, etc.
Which tool or method should I use to uninstall these? I heard there is some ADB tool by connecting phone to PC using USB. But I dont know the details.

Google is your friend. Since adb commands are common to all Android phones, you can find the guides elswehere, including various threads and posts here on XDA
Search, read, learn about the pairs of commands:
adb shell pm disable-user
com.google.android.youtube
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.youtube
or:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.youtube
Here, com.google.android.youtube
is the package name for YT, hence given example is to disable/enable YT
